Is App Hub List worth it?
Worth ten minutes if you already collect badge directories, but treat it as a small, uncertain link. Mixed: older listings from August to October 2026 mostly had a followed link, but most listings published in November 2026 carried rel nofollow, including several with the badge live. The site is run by the same operator as several look-alike directories, so the audience overlaps heavily. Write a specific short description, pick accurate categories, and keep the badge live after approval.
Who should submit to App Hub List?
Suits SaaS and web app makers who can add a small badge to their site and want one more indexed page. It does not suit anyone who cannot edit their site footer, anyone hoping for launch-day traffic or votes, or teams that want a guaranteed followed link.
